Styles - Auto-Accompaniment

What are the Styles?

Styles are a collection of musical patterns representing many types of music, ranging from rock and
pop to traditional and ethnic music. The gk360 contains 96 different auto-accompaniment Styles
that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated arrangements. The sophisticated Auto Accompaniment
system can provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected
accompaniment Style. The Styles a formed by 5 sections, or tracks, that generate the automatic
arrangements: Drums, Bass and 3 Accomp, and an additional two tracks, Upper and Lower, for
the keyboard sounds. The automatic arrangements are triggered by playing chords (fi ngered or
one-fi nger) on the lower part of the keyboard below the split point.
